Both the charms and weight of chubby gravure idol Ai Shinozaki have been attracting attention of late, with her fans proclaiming her the cutest idol ever even as her detractors moan that she is “just a fatty.”

Fortunately there is a fair amount of material with which to come to a conclusion:

She has kind of a rounder belly, but her legs and arms aren’t humongous or anything, she’s just kinda soft, meaning she has a lot more fat than muscle and bone percentage wise. That is why she looks chubby, but she isn’t actually big. I used to be a bit soft until i joined girl’s swim team in junior high. But I know in Asian culture, exercise isn’t exactly very important, grades are usually number one in priorities. That’s why it would be hard to look like we have no fat unless we were skinny in the first place.

Shinozaki is chubby in the western vernacular. In Japan she’s downright futoi. But she gets away with it because she has huge tits. Us long time fans eagerly await Ai-chan’s inevitable descent into AV.

BOYS, BOYS. CALM YOURSELVES. No, she’s not that chubby, but there’s nothing wrong with being thin, either. My fucking god. I’ve got a slim body type, and yeah, that’s nice and all, but slim tends to mean small boobs. Whohoo. You’re gonna be doing a LLLOOOTTTTT of searching if you want breasts AND little to no fat. So, yeah, a girl like Ai here is not only NORMAL, but better than the beached whales America knows and apparently loves. If its ,her natural body type (and it must be, her tummy is DAMN flat if that’s all flab), then at least this lovely lady is fit and cute, too. She takes care of herself and looks sexy/cute. That’s more than I can say for girls like me that can stuff their face and not gain anything or others that pack on the pounds.

my dick says yes but…, oh wait, my mind and heart say yes too. That exactly how women should look like. If I love something skinny I would go to men which is: taller than most girl, solid body, smooth skin too if they use some cosmetic products, same thing for smell problem…

Being an American in America ahaah whooooo boy you guys have no idea what chubby is. Ai is pretty sexy and her body is fine. Of course she would be considered “chubby” by Japanese standards. Me personally I like girls who aren’t toothpicks. I cannot stand the “model” look we have here in America. Anorexic washboards who most likely do what ever they can to fit in a size 0.

Ai is one of my enduring favorites, outlasting other idol legends like Ogura Yuuko. She’s been active in photo shoots and video for seven years (since 13), and you say she’s “attracting attention of late”? Based on what is available online of magazine appearances and video releases, she was probably most popular like three years ago.

Brb…gotta go world wide and punch all the haters in the face.
Harumi Nemoto, Miri Hanai, Mirei Kuroda…Ai ranks up there with these ladies easily. She’s beautiful. Her body is delicious. Her drawback? She’s young. In this respect, she’s very much like Miri Hanai. Both beautiful. Both curvaceous. Both very young faces.
Common people. We don’t need another Aki Hoshino incident.

Fucking hell, my dick was going mad at these pictures. Anyone that calls her fatty, clearly virgin and has no idea what a real women is- even if one turned up and sucked them off. They wouldnt have a clue. What a BABE man I want her!!!

Fat? Hell no! Curvy? Certainly! And that is not a bad thing by any standards! If this is “fat” in Japan, than what is regular size, anorexic looking girls? Sorry, but seeing bones poking out everywhere should be an immediate call to a doctor and for therapy, rather than being idolized.

Thats a polite way of saying the girl is growing up. The female body fuses the pelvic bone to the back bone then it fuses under the arm pits with the kidney plate bone to become one body like fred flintsone or most of the chinese you see that are over 30. There for the only part that moves is the elptical banana in front that snaps in below the diaphram of the lung breathing mussle to the sex organs. This is when they have to and learn to pivit by using only the break below the hips at the leg joints. Not all women follow this fully some with longer back bones and such can get away but the rest look like a set of arms hanging off the belly button. Just polite way of saying she is no longer ‘little’ and ‘multi body jointed’.

How anyone can consider her “fat” is beyond me. I do see a hint of jelly roll in a couple of shots, so “chubby” is probably justified, but I certainly wouldn’t go father than that. Any man who would turn her down on account of her figure needs to have his sanity checked, and I say this as someone who has a soft sport for DFC and doesn’t really dig BBW.

Real Women have curves and she has some really nice ones. I don’t but the argument that an idol/model has to look like stick to be popular. That’s probably why I such a fan of Takizawa Nonami also. http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/5421/015ye6.jpg

started off thin and ended up with a fatty between my legs.
well im glad a lot of people think she is fat. that just means less people to beat to catch girls that look like this. I sees ass, thighs, tummy,boobs, face.

the only reason you see it like that is because they often make the girls in the photoshoots wear clothing thats a size too small. the cincept works for the really thin girls. it makes em look like they have the curves that they really dont, but with the women who already hav eem, it just makes em look a little chubby

I personally think she’d be cute with smaller breasts. Although I am a lolicon and like my DFC, so that would probably explain it. There’s nothing wrong with her breasts, they’re just larger than I would prefer.

Apparently ‘healthy’=’chubby’? :/
I suppose it does if you’re used to stick-figure idols, but this is not chubby. She only looks a little chubby in some pictures because she’s wearing clothes too small for her.

As a woman, I’d say she could be considered chubby on some of these pics, but it’s nice to see that there’s actually men who disagree.
Thank you, men of Sankaku, for boosting a woman’s selfesteem (no sarcasm).

i dont care if its muscle or if its fat that covers them, just so long as i cant see your skeletal structure (including ribs) unless you are bending in a way that would make it impossible to not see it (hands and feet on ground, bending backwards.

Indeed. I’m a total lolicon, but when it comes to real life girls I’d actually (legally be able to) go out with, I actually prefer them a little on the chubby side. Tiny and petite is cute and all, but I dunno, I find that slightly chubby is so much nicer. I mean if I had to choose between a girl who’s 5’4″ and 90 lbs vs a girl that’s 5’4″ and 110 lbs with all other things equal, I’d go for the 110 lbs.

This is not about promoting unhealthy anorexic tendencies. A healthy and balanced diet with lots of fruits, vegetables and fish (and the occasional helping of meat) combined with regular workout will result in the ideal figure. There’s nothing wrong with Ai-chan here, although in most of the pics her BMI is probably slightly above the optimal range.

Fat people out there, vote me down all you want, but you’re not “chubby”, and you’re certainly not healthy. You’re just fat, and your health will deteriorate because of it soon enough.

Are you retarded or something? Well, for sure you’re a master of the straw man argument.

“Being skinny to the point you described”

I didn’t describe anything.

“Skinny girls who ran so much in junior high that they often missed their period”

Again with the straw man.

Also don’t go talking shit about anthropology like you know something about it. The depictions clearly go well beyond idolizing a sturdy pelvis. Fertility idols were made fat because back in the days being fat indicated security from the prospect of starving to death the ordinary population was constently subjected to. Of course the ancients couldn’t know that being overweight shortens your expected livespan by straining your circulation and metabolism. They were just happy to reach 30 years of age without dying from some malnutrition-induced illness.

I never said anything about bone structure anyway, I was talking about excess fat. It might be a bit hard to understand for retarded dumbfucks such as you, but having a strong pelvis and having excess body fat are two entirely unrelated things. You know what excess means? I’ll explain so that even you can understand:

He got voted down because He’s an idiot. You got voted up by some miracle.

Being skinny to the point you described just isn’t natural. The ancients had fertility idols, and those idols were fat. Because fat chicks with a strong pelvis were better at giving safe and relatively-quick birth.

Skinny girls who ran so much in junior high that they often missed their period are NOT FUCKING HEALTHY.

How is she fat!? She’s perfect! She has just the right amount of meat, not too much, not too little.
Thinner women just overall look malnourished, it’s a massive turn off for me when those kind of women lie down on their back and you see their ribcage basically popping out of them with the stomach caving in because there’s nothing there.

i don’t think she’s old even in japanese stadards. That’s the hikikomori standard.

Cute face, not fat but might be boarder line overweight for a asian body. Needs to work out a little firm up or will really start seeing stretch marks on the inner thighs, underboob and waist 5-6 years in.

for those of you who said that’s a real woman, I say this:
Do real women really have boobs that covers 3/4’s of her own face? i’m talking bout 1 side, not both.

If i’m dead wrong about her being overweight then she must have a super small head.

She’s 20 and over 40kg, by japanese standards clearly a disgusting obese old hag.
For me she’s over her “perfect weight” but not even close to fat, her body is proportioned and has aestethically pleasant facial features. Simply said, a slighly chubby and very cute girl. And also has a very nice voice http://youtu.be/XOvckLr4Poc
